Questions on the scheduler

[Jim Stapleton]

I've heard a lot of winging about the FreeBSD scheduler from Linux
people, and even saw that is the reason for one fork off of FreeBSD.

In my experience, I've gotten better performance out of FreeBSD on
single or multi-CPU systems than I have out of Linux or Windows (or
really any other system).

Are these complains I hear of outdated, am I hallucinationg, or is
there another answer? Although this is probably a better question for
-current, what is the state of the scheduler(s), and what would be
some good reading on the subject (specifically to BSD, and not just
schedulers in general)?


Thanks,
